A one-tract mind on back pain relief. Yes!
Do we chiropractors seem to be single-focused on back
pain? Many of us are! Chiropractors really learn all we can about back
pain, neck pain, spine pain and its diagnosis and treatment to ease
pain. Your Minster chiropractor is very involved in helping our patients. A recent paper that highlighted
how chondroitin sulfate may help our diabetic osteoporotic patients
really caught our attention! Nutrition and manipulation (and a bit
of exercise!) go hand in hand for spine pain relief. Here
is the latest on chondroitin sulfate, B vitamins, and spine
nutritional health, all parts of the overall
treatment plan for spine pain relief with the Cox® Technic System.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE
We’ve learned a
lot about chondroitin sulfate’s benefit for disc cartilage for some time. New research is sharing new details
about its ability to mend bone microstructure and ease
diabetic osteoporosis after 8- and 10-weeks of use. Of course,
the studies utilized rats, but
the transfer of knowledge is stimulating. The
anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating advantages
are guiding researchers to find dietary
interventions as well. Bone mineral density improvement was seen,
too. (1) Chondroitin sulfate is a valuable
inclusion in the chiropractic nutritional treatment of Minster back
pain.
B VITAMINS
Now, B vitamins, long recognized for
their benefits for immunity, nervous system, and more, are now
written about their help for back pain and musculoskeletal
conditions. Combined use of thiamine, pyridoxine, and
cyanocobalamin has pain-reducing effects because of
their neuropathic and nociceptive effects due to their
anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, neuroprotective, and neuromodulatory action.
(2) Those are many valuable benefits! Another study
presented how treatment
with NSAIDs and B vitamins proved effective for enhancing general
well-being and heightening the quality of sleep by day
10 of treatment observation of sufferers
with acute lumbar dorsalgia (back pain). (3) Minster chiropractic
care of back pain incorporates nutritional options
alongside gentle spinal manipulation as
delivered in the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management.
